Do it in rhyme? After I do a show I often write a poem full of puns and in-jokes - always goes down well with the cast and crew.

Tell really cr*p jokes, always an ice breaker. Heres a few.

I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day, but I
couldn't find
any.

My friend drowned in a bowl of muesli. A strong currant pulled
him in.

I went to a seafood disco last week...and pulled a muscle

Our ice cream man was found lying on the floor of his van
covered with
hundreds and thousands. Police say that he topped himself.

Boom boom!

Hi ya, congrats on your forthcoming nuptials!!

My husband simply stood up and said something along the lines of 'You all know I have speeches, so I'll make it short and sweet. Those of you who need thanking know who you are, those of you who don't why are you here? (lots of laughs-and gasps from me!) please join me in raising a glass to my lovely wife' He then downed his drink, went red and sat down!

So I then ended up doing an impromtu speech as he hadn't given out any of the thank you gifts! Bless 'im!

Got loads of laughs though!!
